Find out a bit about the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG, and check out new Ring photos, inside.

Spies in Germany caught several pics of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG. The car was seen during testing on the Nurburgring, really hitting the curves hard on what the spy describes as a "soft suspension."

If it gets the AMG Performance Package for the 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine from the S63 AMG, it should pump out 563 hp (420 kW, 571 PS) and up to 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. This engine would likely be mated to the automaker's seven-speed Speedshift MCT transmission.

Larger brake calipers and discs can be seen behind the testing wheels. The car is also fitted with a dual exhaust, with a tail pipe on either side of the vehicle, and vents on the hood.

The low-to-the-ground model should get its production debut in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
